Who's There


Sprawled out on the hard wood floor with paws extended, the white puppy lay sleeping. 

He seemed oblivious to his surroundings and lost in slumber.  At the distant sound of footsteps coming down the hall outside the closed door he lifted his head, ears forward, nose quivering to catch the scent, his body tensing with alertness. 

Silence permeated the bedroom as someone came to a halt outside the door.  A pause in time and then the doorknob turned and the door swung open.  He swiftly gained his feet, his whole body wiggling as he greeted his master with sloppy puppy kisses.
